FIGS. 1 . 2 . 5 and 6 each show an inventive massage device 1 for massage of a male genitalia, in particular a penis, in a longitudinal sectional view, wherein the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1 in the xy plane of an associated Cartesian coordinate system runs.

The massaging device 1 has inter alia an elongate massage recess 2 for receiving the male genital part, wherein a drive device 4 is provided for the deformation of the elongate massage recess 2. The elongated one Massage recess 2 can, as in the Figures 2 and 6 shown, at least partially formed by a tubular molded part 3 made of a rubber-elastic material. To explain the operation of the massage device 1 according to the invention, only the aforementioned components of the massage device 1 are shown in the figures without a receiving this housing.

The elongate massage recess 2 of the massaging device 1 is thus substantially tubular or hollow cylindrical, with an opening 2 'for introducing the penis to be stimulated into the elongated massage recess 2 being provided on at least one end face of the elongate massage recess 2. Preferably, the opening 2 'opposite end face of the elongated massage recess 2 is formed closed, in such a way that it includes, for example, a receiving space for the ejaculate.

In an advantageous embodiment, the elongated massage recess 2 is at least partially lined by an elastic molded part 3, which is preferably formed in one piece and at least partially has a longitudinal axis LA approximately concentric surrounding wall 3 '. The elastic molded part 3 or its wall 3 'conforms with the outer lateral surface 3 "to the contour predetermined by the drive device 4. Moreover, the elastic molded part 3 is preferably slipped over the frontal opening 2' and fixed there.

Furthermore, along the longitudinal axis LA, the drive device 4, which at least partially radially surrounds the elongated massage recess 2, is provided for oscillating deformation of the elongate massage recess 2 at least radially inwards, specifically with respect to the longitudinal axis LA of the elongated massage recess 2. The oscillating deformation may in this case take place along the longitudinal axis LA of the elongated massage recess 2 and / or in the circumferential direction of the elongated massage recess 2, preferably in phase, whereby an approximately wave-like deformation of the massage recess 2 takes place, specifically in the form of a longitudinal axis LA of the elongated massage recess 2 progressive wave.

The drive device 4 has for this purpose a plurality of contact surfaces 5, which surround the elongated massage recess 2 and are arranged concentrically to the longitudinal axis LA, wherein the contact surfaces 5 in the case of a lining of the massage recess 2 by an elastic molded part 3 at least partially on the lateral surface 3 ". The contact surfaces 5 can be formed by different mechanical components, which are explained below by way of example.

The drive device 4 may, for example, comprise a plurality of guide and support elements 9 clamped between a first support element 11 and an opposite second support element 12, which are preferably fixedly connected to the support elements 11, 12. The guide and support elements 9 are for example rod-shaped or rod-shaped and oriented approximately in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1.

Between the first support member 11 and the second, spaced from the first support member 11 support member 12 a plurality of abutment elements 6 are arranged, wherein each abutment element 6, for example, at least one guide opening 8, and at least one guide or support element 9 is guided by this guide opening 8 , The guide openings 8 are formed such that a radial displacement of the abutment elements 6 in the x-z plane, i. from outside to inside and vice versa in each case based on the longitudinal axis LA is made possible. Preferably, the guide opening 8 is oval or oblong-shaped.

The FIGS. 3 and 4 show a section along the lines AA and BB through the massaging device 1 according to FIG. 2 , In the illustrated embodiment, first to fourth guide and support members 9, 9 ', 9 ", 9'" are provided between the first and second guide and support members 11, 12, the guide and support members 9, 9 ', 9 ". , 9 '"each offset by 90 ° to each other, are arranged concentrically about the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1, in such a way that the first to fourth guide and support element 9, 9 ', 9 ", 9"' each have the same distance from the longitudinal axis LA.

The facing in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA surface portions of the contact elements 6 form the contact surfaces 5 for the outer surface 3 "of the elastic molded part 3. The opposite surfaces of this contact surfaces 5 of the contact elements 6 are applied to at least one shaft 7, wherein the longitudinal axis LW of the shaft The shaft 7 is preferably rotatably mounted in the first and second carrier element 11, 12 and can be driven about its respective longitudinal axis LW via a drive unit (not shown in the figures).

In the region lying between the first carrier element 11 and the second carrier element 12, the shaft 7 has at least one eccentric section 7.1, which cooperates with the surface sections of the contact elements 6 remote from the longitudinal axis LA, and these abutment elements 6 rotate radially with respect to the longitudinal axis when the shaft 7 rotates LA shifts, ie generates a radial lifting movement. By this radial lifting movement of the contact elements 6, the elastic molded part 3 or at least the wall 3 'is deformed accordingly. The guide opening 8 of the abutment elements 6 can also be designed to receive the shaft 7, so that the abutment elements 6 are both guided by the shaft 7 and driven.

Along the circumference of the elastic molded part 3, several abutment elements 6 may be provided in a common plane, these abutment elements 6 approximately equally distributed along the circumference of the elastic molded part 3, but may also be concentrated in certain angular sectors. Here, the abutment elements 6 are again lined up on the guide and support elements 9, so that there is a "stack" of contact elements 6 in the y-direction, which is preferably driven by means of an associated shaft 7. The in the Figures 2 and 3 shown contact elements 6 are arranged in a common xz plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis LA and thus form a group of contact elements 6, wherein along the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1, a plurality of such groups successively to form the "stack" are arranged.

The contact elements 6 are in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 and 2 formed by in cross-section approximately conical jaw elements with rounded contact surfaces 5, wherein as guide openings 8 two mutually parallel slots are provided. Notwithstanding this, the abutment elements 6 can have a wide variety of shapes, for example in the form of spheres or disks.

Alternatively, along the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1, a plurality of successive at least part-circular contact elements 6 may be provided with an inner opening which concentric with the longitudinal axis LA arranged preferably circular inner openings. The elastic molded part 3 is in this case at least partially accommodated in the circular inner opening formed by the contact elements 6 and passed through them.

The drive of the contact elements 6 thus takes place from an interaction of the shaft 7 with the guide and support elements 9. The contact elements 6 are guided by means of guided through the guide openings 8 guide and support elements 9, which are mounted fixed relative to the longitudinal axis LA of the massager 1, arranged displaceably and guided by the inner surfaces of the guide openings 8 such that a displacement can take place exclusively in the radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1. Each contact element 6 is thus movable almost independently of the above or below, adjacent contact elements 6, preferably in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1 extending plane.

To produce the desired massage movement, the contact surface 5 of the abutment element 6 that bears against the shaft 7 can have different shapes or surface textures. In addition, the shaft 7 may have different cross-sectional shapes, such as oval, round or polygonal. at Use of the guide opening 8 for driving the contact element 6, these can also have different opening shapes, for example, round, oval or oblong hole.

In the in FIGS. 3 and 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the guide openings 8 of the abutment elements 6 are designed in pairs slot-shaped, wherein the slots are aligned radially to the longitudinal axis LA of the massager 1 and in the vertical direction to the opening size of the slots approximately corresponds to the outer diameter of the round guide and support elements 9. The voltage applied to the shaft 7 surface portions of the abutment elements 6 are at least partially straight and flat, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the shaft 7 itself is oval. Due to the shape of the guide openings 8, the shape or surface texture of the articulated on the shaft 7 surface portions of the abutment elements 6 on the one hand or the formation of the shaft 7 on the other hand, a control curve is given, the scope of movement or the stroke of the respective contact element 6 in the vertical to the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1 extending plane depending on the angle of rotation of the shaft 7 pretends.

To drive the contact elements 6, for example, shafts 7 different shapes, preferably with at least one eccentric 7.1 are used, in particular waves as in the FIGS. 9a and 9b or FIGS. 10a and 10b shown, which for example have a plurality of eccentric 7.1. The figures show in the illustration a) and b) each have the same shaft 7, but the respective shaft 7 is rotated in Figure b) relative to the representation in Figure a) in each case by 90 ° along the longitudinal axis LW. In the in FIGS. 9a) and 9b ), the shaft 7 shows a spiral course around the respective longitudinal axis LW of the shaft. In the FIGS. 10a) and 10b 7 shows several eccentric sections 7.1 in the form of oscillations about the longitudinal axis LW, wherein all eccentric sections 7.1 lie in one plane, so that in a 90 ° rotated two-dimensional representation, as in FIG. 8b ), no eccentric section 7.1 is visible. Also, the use of a shaft 7 with a single eccentric 7.1 is conceivable.

Depending on the design of the shaft 7 in cooperation with the previously described formation of the guide openings 8 and the shaft 7 in contact passing surface portions results in a shift of the respective contact element 6 in the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1 perpendicular plane and thus in total consideration of the massaging device 1, a preferably sine wave-shaped lifting movement of the abutment elements 6 proceeding along the longitudinal axis LA These different lifting movements of the plurality of abutment surfaces 5 of the abutment elements 6 are converted into an oscillating radial deformation of the massage recess (2) or of the elastic molded part 3.

Alternatively, the shaft 7 may be formed deviating in shape and at least over a partial length parallel or approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis LA of the shaft 7, extend at least over a partial length of the shaft 7 obliquely to the longitudinal axis LW of the shaft 7. Also, the at least one eccentric portion 7.1 of the shaft 7 may be formed by an edge of the shaft 7.

In an alternative embodiment according to the FIGS. 5 to 8 the contact surfaces 5 are instead formed by separate contact elements 6 by the lateral surface or edges of the respective shaft 7 itself. The longitudinal axes LW of the shafts 7 are in each case approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1, preferably arranged at the same radial distance from the longitudinal axis LA. These shafts 7 are rotatably mounted in the first and second support members 11, 12 and preferably driven synchronously to each other via a drive, not shown.

In the embodiment shown here waves 7 come as in FIGS. 9a and 9b shown for use. They have a plurality of along the longitudinal axis LW of the shaft 7 arranged eccentric 7.1. At this spiral waveform hugs in FIGS. 6 to 8 the elastic molded part 3 with the outer lateral surface 3 "in order to effect a more pleasant massage effect, the shafts 7 or at least the eccentric section 7.1 can be formed by an elastically deformable material, be enclosed in particular an elastomer or foamed polyurethane. As a result, a larger contact surface 5 is achieved with respect to the molded part 3 and thus prevents an unpleasant effect of the at least one eccentric section 7.1 of the shaft 7 through the elastic molded part 7 through the male genital part.

Alternatively, along at least a portion of the shaft 7 to increase the stimulating effect ball, disc or arbitrarily shaped provided with a drive opening bearing elements 6 are lined up on the shaft 7. The at least partially described cross-section of the massage recess 2 or the outer surface of the shafts 7 or the arrayed on the shafts 7 contact elements 6 elastic molded part 3 with the outer surface of the shafts 7 or strung on the shafts 7 contact elements 6 is upon application of the waves 7 periodically changed with a rotational movement at least in sections along the longitudinal axis LA in cross section.

Depending on the angle of rotation of the shafts 7, which are preferably arranged at equal angular intervals along the circumference, a periodic widening or narrowing of the diameter of the elongate massage recess 2 or an expansion or contraction of the elastic molded part 3 or its wall 3 'results. Thus, an oscillating stroke movement proceeding along the longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1 preferably results in a wave-shaped deformation of the massage recess 2 or of the elastic molded part 3.

In this embodiment, the desired massage effect can be selected by the number of shafts 7 used along the circumference of the sheath 3, the shape or design of the eccentric sections 7.1 or the cross-sectional shape of the shafts 7. In addition, can be changed or increased by a variation of the rotational speed or direction of rotation of the waves 7 of the massage effect. In particular, the waves 7 distributed along the circumference of the massage recess 2 can be controlled such that the deformation generated by a shaft 7 is a Phase shift to the deformation generated by the adjacent shaft 7 has.

Alternatively to the in the Figures 5 and 6 shown embodiment of the waves 7 can assume just this almost any shape, the shaft 7 is suitable by a suitable control to cause a longitudinal axis LA of the massaging device 1 directed continuous, for example, sinusoidal deformation of the massage recess 2.

In particular, the at least one eccentric section 7.1 extend parallel to, at least over a partial length of the at least one shaft 7, approximately parallel or obliquely to the longitudinal axis LW of the shaft 7. In addition, the at least one eccentric section 7.1 can also be formed by an edge of the at least one shaft.

In Fig. 11 a further embodiment of a massage device according to the invention is shown. Attached to the shafts 7 are abutment elements 6 which lie at least partially circumferentially against the tubular shaped part 3 on its outer lateral surface 3 ", whereby differently shaped abutment elements 6 are provided, preferably periodically or at least in sections, for example in the form of spheres and discs In particular, the disc-shaped abutment elements 6 projecting radially beyond the spherical abutment elements 6 are formed from a soft, elastically deformable material, for example an elastomer, whereas the balls are formed from a solid material, in particular plastic or metal These balls serve as spacers for the disk-shaped contact elements 6. The deformability of the disk-shaped contact elements 6 is additionally caused by the rotation of the waves 7 in addition eighth deformation of the tubular molding 3, an additional massage effect achieved by the reversible deformation of the disc-shaped contact elements 6 in the action on the male genitalia.

Fig. 12 shows a further possibility of forming the arranged on the shafts 7 contact elements 6. These are formed like a bristle and are radially from the shaft 7 from. The bristles are in this case formed from a reversibly deformable material, in particular an elastomer. They form the contact surfaces 5 with respect to the tubular molded part 3 and are deformed during the massage of the male genital part by the system with respect to the tubular molded part 3, which in turn results in an increased massage effect. In this case, it is deviating possible that the abutment elements 6 are shaped such that the contact surfaces 5 formed by them have different radial distances from the longitudinal axis LW of the shaft ( Fig. 13 ). Thus, for example, the bristle-like contact elements 6 may have different lengths, which change, for example, continuously, in sections continuously or stepwise along the longitudinal axis LW of the shaft. Notwithstanding this, bristles of constant length can be arranged helically on the shaft 7.

The invention has been described above with reference to several embodiments. It is understood that numerous changes and modifications are possible without thereby departing from the inventive concept underlying the invention.
